Water level ups in Kura River

Water level in Girag Kasaman settlement of Kur River rose 20 cm on June 15-17 as a result of recent rains in Azerbaijan and Georgia, senior hydrologist of the National Hydrometeorology Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources Asif Verdiyev told APA.

According to him, water level has fallen 7 cm today.

Water level in Ganikh River has fallen, but in the lower part of Kur River has risen 4-10 cm: “Rise in water level was also recorded in mountainous rivers. Water level in Ganjachay has risen 1 cm, 24 cm in Valvalachay and 6 cm in Lankaranchay. Flood was not recorded. Snow storage has already melted in mountains. That’s why water level in rivers mostly rises due to rains.”
